Ipsy Review – April 2015

It’s time for my monthly Ipsy review! Pretty in pink! I really like the makeup back this month! It’s so colorful and fun! The theme for April is “Beautifully Bohemian.” Bag Contents:

MicaBeauty – Eye Primer

theBalm Cosmetics – NUDE Dude Eyeshadow Single

Mullein & Sparrow – Mini Lip & Cheek Tint

Gallany Cosmetics – Lipstick

JulieG – Nail Color

MicaBeauty – Eye Primer

I don’t like beauty products that require you to stick your fingers in a tub. I know that’s kind of weird, but I don’t like digging my nails into products.

Also, products are usually difficult to get out of the tubs. This primer is no different. I’m having a hard time getting enough product out of the tub to be able to apply it. What I have managed to get out of the tub is very thick and hard to blend.theBalm Cosmetics – NUDE Dude Eyeshadow Single – Fit

I love the packaging of this eyeshadow! It’s so unique and cute!

This eyeshadow has great pigmentation, and the bronze color is a good neutral! Mullein & Sparrow – Mini Lip & Cheek Tint

Another product in a tub. 😦

This tint smells oddly of chocolate and fruit. An interesting combination for a beauty product.

The tint is very sheer but much easier to get out of the tub than the eye primer above. Gallany Cosmetics – Lipstick – Petal

This lipstick has a very intense “makeup-y” smell. Petal is a great color for me! It’s a very pretty, rosy pink. JulieG – Nail Color – Damsel

This nail polish is the perfect pink for summertime.

Since I subscribe to Julep, I told Ipsy (on my beauty quiz) that I didn’t want to receive nail polish from them. So many people have had problems with the responses to their beauty quizzes that I figured I’d get nail polish all the time. I’m pretty surprised that I was able to go almost a year without receiving any!

April was an okay month for Ipsy. I like the bag and the eyeshadow. The lipstick is okay, but because of the smell, I don’t think I’ll end up using it.

I’ve been pretty disappointed with Ipsy in the last few months, so I’ve decided to cancel my subscription.

I’ll continue to read other bloggers’ reviews, and if Ipsy improves, I will most likely subscribe again!
